Troparion of the Feast of the Great Pumpkin - (Tone 4)

O Holy Great Pumpkin
thou appearest in sincere pumpkin patches on All-Hallow's Eve
bringing with thee gifts for the faithful
who keep thy vigil throughout the night.
Bestow upon thy faithful this very night
gifts for thy servants who await thy annual coming!


The troparion is sung during the Litija before the blessing of the five pumpkins, after which the faithful process back into the asylum.

Correction:

This is difficult in Tone 4. After a little experimentation, I recommend singing it in Tone 8.
